These biomarkers are patterns of brain activity present in people with OCD when they're acting compulsively, and which don't ...

So today, let’s do exactly that. We’ll look at why the brain gets stuck in these loops and how real hope and healing are possible. We’ll take a gentle look inside the mind to see what’s ...

Scientists have identified the first brainwave biomarkers for OCD, opening the door to personalized, on-demand brain stimulation that targets distressing compulsive behaviors as they arise.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects up to 3 percent of people worldwide and remains one of the most challenging mental health conditions to treat effectively. That makes any fresh insight into ...

These brain waves serve as a biomarker for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and are an important step towards more targeted treatments.

Researchers are developing a new approach to treating OCD that targets a specific receptor in the brain.

Additionally, we found that certain types of brain cells—particularly medium spiny neurons in a brain region called the striatum—were strongly linked to the OCD genes we identified.

Deep brain stimulation is a treatment option for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when first-line treatments have not worked.

That makes any fresh insight into OCD's root causes especially valuable – like a new study pointing to a surprising suspect: the bacteria living in our gut.
